Song Ruyue appeared. Her face was dark with rage. When she saw the weak girl in the room, her expression and voice immediately turned gentle. “Oh, Weimo, you’re not asleep yet.”
As she spoke, she took off her shoes and entered the house.
Mei’er, who was being reprimanded behind her, had tears in her eyes. She was about to take off her shoes and go in to serve Song Ruyue when the latter suddenly turned around and shouted coldly, “Wait outside! How many times have I told you? Weimo’s body is weak and can’t withstand the cold, and her room can’t be dirtied. Don’t you know that you were just outside? Other than me, no one can enter Weimo’s room casually in the future!”
Mei’er hurriedly lowered her head and retreated.
Qiu’er glanced at her young miss before hurriedly going forward to close the door. Then, she exchanged a look with Zhu’er, who was standing beside her.
They saw the nervousness and fear in each other’s eyes.
If Madam found out, it would be over.
Was Sir going to be buried alive?
Or was he going to be sunk into the well?
The two maidservants stood outside, their hearts in their throats as they trembled.
Qin Weimo walked to the couch calmly and said gently, “I can’t sleep yet. Mother, it’s already so late. Why are you looking for me?”
Song Ruyue snorted coldly and walked to the soft couch in her snow-white socks. She sat on it and said angrily, “They’re all a bunch of idiots who only know how to eat. All of them are useless. They can’t help at all. I am extremely busy. I asked them for ideas, but none of them said a word. I know they are afraid that they’ll say something wrong, so they would rather not say anything. Then what’s the point of me hiring them?”
After venting her frustration through her words, she softened her tone and said, “I’m fine. I’m just feeling frustrated, so I came to talk to you. How’s your body today? Did you cough again?”
As Song Ruyue spoke, she looked at the table in front of her.
There was a bowl of porridge on the table. Only half of it was eaten.
She frowned again and said, “Silly girl, you’re not eating properly. How can your body recover if you don’t eat? How many times have I told you? You just refuse to listen. You don’t cherish your body at all.”
Qin Weimo slowly sat down opposite her mother and said softly, “I’m feeling much better today. I only coughed for a while during the day. I felt fine at night.”
A look of surprise appeared on Song Ruyue’s face. “Are you lying to me? Don’t you usually cough a lot at night?”
Qin Weimo lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at where Song Ruyue was sitting. She said gently, “I don’t know what’s going on either. I just feel that I’m much better tonight.”
Song Ruyue was overjoyed. “That’s good! It’s good that you feel better. Take your time. Your body will definitely recover. Don’t be anxious.”
Qin Weimo said, “Mother, are you troubled over choosing a gift for the Grand Princess these days?”
Hearing this, Song Ruyue knitted her brows again. She sighed and said, “That’s right. I’ve been racking my brains, but I don’t know what to give her. Your father is of no help either. Every time I ask him, he says that I can just give whatever I want and the Grand Princess won’t mind. Sigh, the Grand Princess might not mind, but we can’t be insincere, right? Weimo, do you think I’m right?”
Qin Weimo nodded and said gently, “You’re right, Mother. The Grand Princess has won years of peace for MO City, and she has won a great battle this time. We have to do our part.”
Song Ruyue said with a frown, “That is what I’m worrying about. I haven’t been eating or sleeping well these past few days. I think about it every day. Every time I decide on a Dresent. I feel like that is not good enough to Dresent to the Grand Princess.”
Qin Weimo smiled and said, “Mother, are you afraid that the gifts of Aunt
Zhang and the rest will be superior to yours?”
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and said, “Nonsense. Am I the type who likes to compete with others? I’ve always been low-key and pragmatic. I don’t like to compete with those fellows.”
Qin Weimo held back her laughter and said, “Mother, I have never met the Grand Princess, and I don’t know what she likes, so I can’t help you with this matter.”
Song Ruyue sighed and was about to speak when she heard her daughter say, “However, I can recommend someone to you. That person should be able to help you.”
The moment she said that, Song Ruyue’s eyes lit up and she hurriedly said,
“Who is it? Weimo, tell me quickly!”
Qin Weimo smiled and said, “The answer is right in front of you. It’s seemingly far away, but actually close at hand.”
Stunned, Song Ruyue looked around in confusion.
Luo Qingzhou, who was hiding under the blanket on the bed, immediately felt his heart skip a beat. Like the two little girls outside the door, he started trembling.
“Where is the person?”
Song Ruyue was dumbfounded.
Qin Weimo smiled and said, “Sister Meijiao.”
Hearing this, Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment. Then she slapped her thigh and said happily, “Oh yes! Why did Mother forget about her? She and the Grand Princess—”
“Mother, go quickly. In the evening, Sister Meijiao came to look for me. She shouldn’t be asleep yet.’
Qin Weimo smiled and threw a glance at the bed behind her.
Song Ruyue waved her hand dismissively and said, “Forget it. It is too late. I can ask her tomorrow. There is no rush. The Grand Princess will probably be back after a few more days. There is plenty of time.”
Qin Weimo nodded and did not say anything else.
After a moment, she rubbed her temples. She said in a tired voice, “Mother, I am a little sleepy and want to rest.”
When Song Ruyue heard this, she hurriedly got up and walked to the table. She blew out the oil lamp and candles on it and the oil lamp in the corner. Then, she walked to the soft couch and sat down. She said gently, “Weimo, go and sleep if you’re tired. You don’t have to accompany me. I’ll just sit by myself.” Qin Weimo looked at her and said, “Mother, you…”
Song Ruyue sighed and said, “Your father won’t be coming back tonight. I’m busy thinking about this matter, so I can’t sleep these few nights. I sleep during the day. I’ll sit here tonight. If you’re tired, go ahead and sleep. I will sleep on this couch. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you.”
Qin Weimo stared at her mother speechlessly.
“Why? Do you despise me and think that I am dirtying your place? You don’t even want me to lie on this couch?”
Song Ruyue immediately looked aggrieved.
Qin Weimo could only smile bitterly. “Of course not. Why would I despise you,
Mother? I’m just afraid that you won’t feel comfortable sleeping on the couch.”
Song Ruyue immediately beamed with joy again. “I’m all right. Don’t worry about me. You can go to sleep first. If I’m tired later, I’ll go to your bed and sleep with you, okay?”
“Huh?”
Qin Weimo’s hand in her sleeve trembled slightly.
Song Ruyue burst into laughter and said, “I’m just teasing you. I know that you’re a clean freak and don’t like anyone touching your bed. Go to sleep quickly. I’ll read for a while and lie down on this couch later. It’s soft and warm here. There’s also a blanket. It’s very comfortable. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“Oh, okay.”
Qin Weimo looked at the bed hidden by the curtains but did not move.
Song Ruyue asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Have you washed the blanket and haven’t put on the new blanket yet? I’ll help you. You don’t have to call Qiu’er and the rest.”
With that, she was about to get up.
Qin Weimo hurriedly said, “Mother, the blanket has been made. I… I am going to sleep. You should sleep early too.”
As she spoke, she did not dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly walked to the bedside.
Song Ruyue smiled and picked up a book from the side. She flipped it open and remarked, “Go to sleep. Don’t worry about me. I’m feeling wide awake.”
Qin Weimo did not dare to speak anymore. She walked to the bed and turned around. Seeing that Song Ruyue was not looking at her, she hurriedly pulled open the curtain and got onto the bed. Her face instantly turned red.
Song Ruyue asked curiously, “Weimo, why did you go into your bed without taking off your clothes?”
Qin Weimo sat on the bed and said in a low voice with a red face, “Oh, I… I’ll take it off inside here.
As she spoke, she lowered her head and slowly unbuttoned her clothes with trembling hands..
